Well, hello there, kind folks. If you’re visiting this blog of mine, I presume that you have a certain interest in the cinema. As for me, even since my early childhood, I have had a deep love of everything related to movies and television. As far as I can remember, I have been more at ease in front of a screen than in the yard, outside, playing. It is a great way to travel, though other people’s stories, without having to foot any kind of steep bill. Over the years, I feel that movie-watching has even fuelled my own creativity.

All that being said, I welcome you in my Cinephile’s Nest. I hope you enjoy it here, feel free to come back at any time. Here you will find reviews of current movies and older ones. TV shows also. Some classics that have remained some of my favourites, some that have disappointed me. I will use a very basic star (*) system to grade them from 1 to 5 (5 being sliced bread level). Remember, these are just my tastes. I will try to explain in each review what I liked about these particular movies, without giving spoilers.

Il y aura aussi des critiques en français pour les films francophones, car j'aime également le cinéma dans ma langue maternelle. Avant d'apprendre l'anglais, plus jeune, je louais des tonnes de films traduits en français, surtout ceux de Bud Spencer et Terrence Hill. Ma mère a eu le choc de sa vie lorsqu'un jour, dans la boîte d'un de ces films, Deep Throat avait malencontreusement inséré. Une expérience formatrice pour le jeune cinéphile que je suis.

Bienvenue à tous, amusez-vous bien.

I welcome you all here, enjoy yourself.

Warm Bodies (2013)

Genre: Romantic Comedy
Directed by: Jonathan Levine
Cast: Nicholas Hoult, Teresa Palmer, Rob Corddry, John Malkovich
Running time: 98 minutes


 

Based on the 2010 novel of the same name by Isaac Marion and inspired by Romeo and Juliet, Warm Bodies tells the story of a budding relationship, in the midst of a zombie apocalypse, between a young woman called Julie and a zombie known as R. The presence of Julie in R’s life is slowly bringing him back to human form.

This film is a nice romantic comedy with an apocalyptic edge to it. I love how we are shown a different twist in the old zombie movie narrative. Here, zombies still have a few human traits. They can still speak a few words and feel some things. The story is fun and compelling, and the movie is without pretention. It doesn’t take itself seriously, and that makes it quite charming.
